Original Note:
Misleading. The suspect was charging at officers with a knife when he was shot. He had been asked verbally to put the knife down dozens of times, and the officers tried unsuccessfully to taze him first. The post makes it seem like he was shot over fare evasion alone. https://abc7ny.com/post/brooklyn-police-shooting-calls-nypd-accountability-after-officer-suspect-2-bystanders-shot-subway-station/15320149/
